What is Respondus Lockdown Browser and Monitor?

Respondus Lockdown Browser and Monitor is a product that can be used to protect the integrity of online exams and quizzes. It integrates with Canvas and works as a stand alone web browser that students use when taking quizzes in Canvas.

The browser prevents access to other applications and also disables the ability for students to print, take screen captures, or copying and pasting while taking the quiz.

Monitor is an expander part of the Lockdown Browser where a web cam contented to the student's computer records video of the environment before and during administration of the exam. This allows more flexibility for students in not having to find a proctor when taking high stakes exams.
